Fort William 2040 (FW2040) projects - Helicopter Landing Site

In development - a suitable location for a permanent site for a helicopter landing site (HLS) serving Fort William and the wider area, to be utilised for Air Ambulance and Search and Rescue, has been ongoing for several years. NHS have confirmed they will not build a landing site as part of the new hospital.

Identification of a site is now more urgent due to increased commercial interest in the current landing site at Carr’s Corner. A possible permanent site has been identified in the Glen Nevis area and partners are in discussions with Jahama Estates and the HELP appeal to try and progress.
